What is The Exercise Space?

We each have our own exercise space, we just need to find it! As your personal trainer I will provide you with functional fitness and nutritional guidance which will inspire and motivate you to find a balance. I will teach you different exercises every session, and by making small changes within your life, we’ll reach and stay within your goals. I work with men and women of all ages and fitness levels. Training is available at my space, your space, or outside. I can show how to get fit with just your own body weight and a few simple tools

I just can’t get enough of Dawn. Whenever I get the chance, I try to exercise with her. She’s versatile, knowledgeable, takes a holistic approach, caters to my ever-changing needs and is flexible with her schedule. We even do “mommy and me” appointments. I have a toddler and a preschooler and when we’re all feeling ambitious–all three of us go together. Dawn is great at keeping their attention and getting them involved with the exercises–she keeps it fun and safe for all of us. I love to exercise and take great pride in teaching my kids this important part of life.

I’ve been training with Dawn for about 3 years. She is so very good. I quit my last trainer because I was so bored. Dawn’s training is different every time. If something hurts or doesn’t feel right, the minute I tell her she has a different exercise immediately that works perfectly. I have never experienced this before. Her workouts are interesting, challenging and I always feel much better afterward regardless of how I felt physically or mentally before.
I have recommended her to other people and they are just as happy as I am. Get yourself healthier, you’ll be challenged and enjoy it.

I have been training with Dawn for three years. I am a male in my 60’s and when I started with Dawn I was very out of shape. I had problems with my knees and lower back for many prior years. After strengthening the muscles around my knees and strengthening my core, I no longer have knee problems or back problems. I am able to enjoy outdoor activities now that would cause my knees or back to hurt in the past, such as, hiking, biking and snowshoeing. Dawn has designed my workouts to address my needs and physical limitations. She is very creative, providing energetic, varied and fun exercise programs. One of the fun things about Dawn is that she invents new exercises so that each time I work with her I am doing something different from prior sessions. If you are looking for a highly qualified, energetic, caring trainer, I recommend Dawn.

I am a weekend warrior that takes my sports very seriously. I was getting old and it was getting tough to remain competitive. I’d tell Dawn what I needed to be better at and she always had a workout ready to help me strengthen my aging muscles. I’ve been able to win now at the national level. Dawn is more than a trainer. She walks her walk and is one of the more fit people I know. Everyone benefits from working out with Dawn.

When I decided to get race fit, I went to Dawn at The Exercise Space. Her understanding of the human body and how it responds to nutrition and exercise is why I have stood on many podiums.

Dawn doesn’t just train athletes or help you lose weight. She helps you understand and achieve a healthier life.

Dawn is an awesome trainer. I’ve been working with her for 6 months and our workouts are always new and different. I look forward to our workouts which is really great since I’m not really fond of exercising. From the beginning she has been very supportive to help me reach my goals. She is really good at helping to find the things that work for me.

I have been with Dawn for over three years now. When she left the fitness club where I worked with her to open her own studio, I immediately followed. I am probably in the best shape of my life now. While she pushes me to be my best, she still understands we all have off days (and sometimes off weeks) and accommodates the peaks and valleys. I don’t think we have ever done the same workout in all three years, and I never knew there were so many different ways to do push-ups. Her rates are very reasonable as far as trainers are concerned. I don’t hesitate to highly recommend The Exercise Space. You will be challenged, but the result is worth it!
